Description:
Histasin is an antihistamine that reduces the body’s allergic reactions. It inhibits H1-receptors but has negligible effects on H2-receptors. The drug has minor anti-cholinergic, adrenergic and serotonin like effects. Histasin inhibits the histamine-mediated early phase of the allergic reaction and reduces the affinity of eosinophils and the release of various mediators during the late allergic response. The onset of action of Histasin occurs after approximately 25 minutes after administration, reaching a maximum after 4 hours and lasts for 24 hours. Histasin is used for seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic rhinitis, skin rash and urticaria caused by histamine release.
